LB: “Which science fiction TV show do you wish you could personally reboot?”

Yes, it’s BUCK ROGERS, created & produced by a good friend of mine and taken over & produced by another friend who was actually the godfather of my 2nd son. Still sucked tho.

The question’s gotten a lot if answers, including:

BLAKE’S 7

THE INVADERS

DUNE (mini-series)

RIVERWORLD

BABYLON 5

WONDER WOMAN

STAR TREK

I’d like to throw in my two cents because as you all know, I’m that kinda guy. But I’m doing it here instead of the original website because I always get ignored when I comment at io9 and I really, really, really crave attention. (Hey, that’s a showbiz requirement, isn’t it?)

So. I wish that I could personally reboot:

THE AVENGERS (The UK series, not Marvel’s Avengers. But only if I could still cast a young Diana Rigg and relatively young Pat McNee. Pat, incidentally, has been a great friend of mine since his BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA days and has great secret agent cred – including the fact that he was one of England’s most decorated heroes of WWII.

AUTOMAN (because I’ll always regard it with great regret as a show I co-created and, yes, I cop to it, completely fucked up. One more shot. That’s all I want at it. Just one more shot…)

I think the fact that the above are the best pics I can find is a good sign of how badly I screwed up this show. Sincerest apologies to a great cast and crew…
